May 10, 2008 - vs Columbus Crew

Another night at the South Bay San Siro. Despite breaking into the scoring column, the Quakes lost to the Columbus Crew 3-2. The Quakes are missing a strong "go to" person that can "finish". Maybe a current player will develop into this or it will come from a new addition - but we are not there yet. The defense also broke down after the Crew scored the equalizer to make it 1-1. The Crew pummelled us with back-toback goals to take a commanding 3-1 lead. It was exciting in the SBSS and the crowd really got loud as the Quakes attempted to come back late in the match.

A couple of gripes about the SBSS. Entry and exit points are so limited. There is not any easy way to get in or out of the stadium. Concessions are limited at best and everything just looks "temporary". Yes - the plan is to only be here for 2-3 seasons, but come on. The dedicated fans that come to these games should feel like they are in a MLS venue.

Let's hope that next week's game on the road against New England will bring some points to the Quakes.
